    Promising review: "OMG…..this skirt was a 10/10 win! It fit perfectly (being a little high waisted, how I prefer), and the material was a little wrinkly but silky good quality. My expectations were not high but I am definitely wearing this one again!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 31 colors and patterns). 

    8. A criss-cross v-neck sweater you can wear two ways — on or off your shoulders. This also means if you're out to dinner and you opt for outside seating because it's SO nice out, but then it cools off when the sun goes down, you can transition your sweater to help keep your shoulders warm.

    Promising review: "Paired with my favorite cropped Hannah denim but plan to also wear with high-waisted shorts this spring. I love that you can wear it on or off the shoulder. One of my favorite affordable Amazon brands where you can count on great quality / on trend product at a great price!" —denasdailydeals

    Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 25 colors).

    9. drawstring bodycon dress so versatile you'll find yourself wearing it at least once a week. Wear it with a jacket on the cooler spring days and then on its own when it gets hot hot hot out. Plus, the sides are adjustable, so you'll find the perfect length that makes you feel comfortable and confident.

    Promising reviews: "I finally bought this dress after seeing it all over TikTok and HOLY SMOKES. I cannot believe how universally [good it looks on people]. It's absolutely stunning!" —Catherine Thriveni

    "This dress is amazing! The fabric is so soft and silky but also has structure and because the sides are ruched, I can adjust it to the perfect length, which means a lot when you're only 5'1". The ruching allows me to control the amount of fabric gathered in the tummy and behind areas. To sum it all up, I LOVE the dress and plan on purchasing at least two more in the army green and the brown because this style dress can also be worn in the fall and spring months with a basic or colored denim jacket and a cute pair of boots or booties!" —Tonya

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 24 colors and styles).

    Promising review: "I have gotten compliments on these pants every time I’ve worn them. They are so cute and work great with so many outfits. They were exactly what I was looking for. The legs are probably a bit short for me and hit above the ankles, but I am over 6’ tall, so I have that problem with most pants." —Danielle

    Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 16–24 and six prints, also in two-pair sets).

    11. knit tank top featuring a ruffle detail that sets this apart from all those other basic tops you currently have in your wardrobe. And at this price? You might as well add a couple of colors to your cart because you'll be wearing it for the foreseeable future.

    Promising review: "I love this dress! Just what I was looking for. Super soft material and light weight. I am self conscious of my arms so I love the sleeves.

    15. colorful jean jacket because spring means *finally* putting away your boring and drab winter coat and opting for something a little more fun and colorful. So why not pick a pastel denim jacket? It'll go with everything from a floral dress to a simple jeans and a tee look.

    Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and fell in love with the dress! This dress is very cottagecore and fits well.
